Like it or not, just really FYI:

Dave Chappelle accepts the Twain Prize: ‘I love my art form. It saved my life.’

@ WashingtonPost.com, Oct. 27, 11:23 pm

Comedian and hometown hero Dave Chappelle was celebrated for his fearless commentary on American culture Sunday night, when he received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center in Washington.

Bradley Cooper, Morgan Freeman, Tiffany Haddish and Erykah Badu were among the all-stars of film, comedy and music who took to the Concert Hall stage to salute D.C.’s native son, who launched his comedy career while a student at Duke Ellington School of the Arts. The show will be broadcast Jan. 7 on PBS [....]

I have never watched him work, so don't have an opinion.

But I looked up the prize, it is not a minor thing and it's not avant-gardey, it's for influencing American culture, presented to individuals who have "had an impact on American society in ways similar to" Twain.
